If you are talking about the GPU, then yes, if not I have no idea what it is you are talking about. But, if it is, then tell me what kind of specs you have.

Sounds like this guy has a 'Vista Capable' PC with some sort of on board Intel Graphics Accelerator, so as to answer the TC's question: No, you cannot allocate more system RAM to your Graphics Accelerator...like it would make much of a performance difference anyway.. >_>

Bob is right, your using onboard memory, I really need to know what the type of mobo you have is, and the connection types (i.e. PCI-e, PCI, AGP, etc.), so we can choose out a decent GPU for you.

If it comes with Home Premium pre-installed, you can make a safe bet that he has a PCI-E slot.

You need a new graphics card, as said in a billion posts above.

Not only a new graphics card that doesn't share system RAM, but you also need to at least double your 1G of system RAM

Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

Also if it's the GMA 900, the amount of shared memory can be changed in the control panel. If not, there's a BIOS setting related to it.

Buy a new graphics card, if your on a desktop you can get the Geforce 7900GS for about $120.

But thats not gonna happen because you clearly don't know anything about computers.

Solution: Return Halo 2 Vista to the shop, get your money back, and play the XBOX version.
